Telnet tips
It is not the intention of this manual to detail all of the operations and functionality
of Telnet; however, some basic level of understanding is necessary for operating the
CrossPoint or MAV switcher via Telnet.
Open
Connect to the CrossPoint or MAV switcher using the Open command. Once you
are connected to the switcher, you can enter the SIS commands the same as you
would if you were using the RS-232 link.
Connect to the CrossPoint or MAV switcher as follows:
1 . At the Telnet prompt, type open {IP address} and then press [Enter].
If the switcher is not password protected , no further prompts are displayed
until you break or disconnect the connection to the CrossPoint or MAV
switcher.
If the switcher is password protected , Telnet displays the password prompt.
2 . If necessary, at the password prompt, type {password} and then press [Enter].
Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet can be password protected. There
are two levels of password protection: administrator and user. A person
logged on as an administrator has full access to all CrossPoint or MAV
switching capabilities and editing functions. Users can select video and/or
audio for output, select test patterns, set audio or RS-232 mutes, select a blue
screen, and view all settings with the exception of passwords. By default,
the CrossPoint or MAV switcher ships with both passwords set to {carriage
return}.
Once you are logged in, the switcher returns either Login Administrator or
Login User . No further prompts are displayed until you break or disconnect
the connection to the CrossPoint or MAV switcher.
Escape character and Esc key
When Telnet is first started, the utility advises that the
Escape character is ‘Ctrl+]’
.
Many SIS commands include the keyboard
E
key. Consequently, some confusion
may exist between the Escape character and the Escape key.
The Telnet Escape character is a key combination, the
Ctrl
key and the
]
key
pressed simultaneously, that returns you to the Telnet prompt while leaving the
connection to the CrossPoint or MAV switcher intact.
The Escape key is the
E
key on the computer keyboard.
